An interventional study of Intraoperative fluoroscopy in Intraoperative Fluoroscopy, sponsored by Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale, Bellinzona. Recruiting at 1 site in Switzerland. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 90 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-11.
Sponsored by Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale, Bellinzona · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The aim of the study is to compare total hip arthroplasty intervention executed with or without the use of intraoperative fluoroscopy in terms of positioning of the hip prosthesis. The comparison will be made on post-operative follow-up X-ray performed as per clinical practice, in order to verify if intraoperative fluoroscopy provides better prosthesis components positioning or not.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.

Device: Intraoperative fluoroscopy
Fluoroscopy is a medical procedure that makes a real-time video of the movements inside a part of the body by passing x-rays through the body over a period of time.
Acetabular component anteversion
Acetabular component anteversion will be measured on post-operative control antero-posterior pelvis view X-ray performed as per clinical practice using the PACS software according to the method described by Lewinnek et al. This method is based on the following equation to measure radiographic anteversion β. β = arcsin(S/L) Where S is the length of the short axis and L is the length of long axis of the ellipse. The ellipse is formed by the outer ring of the acetabulum component on the anteroposterior pelvis view X-ray.
Time frame: 2 months post-operative
Started May 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Mar 2028, 58 months after the start.
